Individuals with a physical disability, learning disability, or neurological condition which impedes their ability to take standardized tests may be eligible for testing accommodations. Testing accommodations are adaptations made to a regular testing environment—such as extended test-taking times or distraction-free rooms—that allow individuals with disabilities to demonstrate their aptitude on a given subject matter.
Both the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 permit testing accommodations in classroom settings and, in certain cases, accommodations for high-stakes testing such as state-level assessments and college admission exams.
Student disabilities must be well-documented by a qualified healthcare professional and submitted to the testing entity to qualify for academic accommodations. Dr. Tansman of Psychological Assessment Services can test for and document the existence of learning disabilities or neurological conditions that may result in modifications to you or your child's testing environment.
To schedule an assessment with Dr. Tansman at her Los Angeles, Rolling Hills, Pasadena or Irvine office, call (310) 734-0306 or contact us online today!
What Disabilities Qualify for Testing Accommodations?
There are many circumstances that may affect a student's ability to take tests. The following is a list of disabilities which may warrant testing accommodations; this list is not all-inclusive nor does it imply that testing accommodations are automatically granted upon receiving a diagnosis of one of these medical conditions.
What Are the Types of Testing Accommodations Available?
However, there is no real limit to the range of academic accommodations that can be made for students with disabilities, so long as that student is not given an advantage over other students as a result of the testing modification. Some students with significant or severe learning disabilities may also be eligible to complete alternative grading evaluations rather than test taking.
What Are the Benefits to Test Accommodations?
Testing accommodations assure that all students, including those with learning disabilities and special needs, have fair and equal access to education and that educators receive accurate assessments of students' knowledge on a given subject.
In addition, test accommodations help students with disabilities to feel more comfortable and confident with the test-taking process, alleviating stress and worry, and give students with disabilities a better chance at academic opportunities achieved through standardized testing.
Psychoeducational and neuropsychological evaluations are thorough assessments which can help determine whether you or your child are experiencing a learning disability or are afflicted with a neurological condition which is impacting testing success.
Dr. Tansman of Psychological Assessment Services has extensive experience as a licensed psychologist and can conduct psychoeducational evaluations in the privacy and comfort of her Los Angeles, Rolling Hills, Pasadena or Irvine office. Her evaluation can help lay the groundwork for Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan eligibility.

Remember this feeling, I thought.
My daughter and I sat in her room listening to her Sesame Street playlist. We dug the baby clothes out of the closet for her new brother, and I explained that yes, she really was that small once.
Listening to Ernie sing about his rubber duckie, I was flooded with memories. It was just like in the movies when someone who's had amnesia suddenly remembers everything.
I remembered being a new mother and having no idea what that was supposed to look like.
I remembered swaying to Shakira with my baby until she fell asleep in my arms.
I remembered making this playlist when her brother was born three years ago.
I remembered the first time I took them out in the double jogger. It became a weekend ritual for just the three of us. Now there are three of them.
They were the kind of memories you want to go back and live in again.
But I also remembered how much pressure I felt back then. Pressure to be a good enough mother. To be a good enough wife. To earn that approval that I thought I needed so much.
Sometimes it's not clear that something doesn't matter until you get a little space from it (and a lot of perspective), but every now and then, life reminds you to slow down and look at it all without the pressure to make it anything other than what it already is.
In those moments, you wonder why you never saw it that way before. You vow to be more present from now until forever and to say just how much you love them before they all grow up.
And in those moments, your heart swells with gratitude and breaks into a million little pieces because you see so clearly it hurts.
Everything is changing all on its own. All the time.
My 3- and 5-year old looked suddenly enormous when I brought the baby home. It was as if someone had swapped my sweet babies with these kids overnight. But of course, they'd been growing and changing a little bit every day.
Every day, we're all a little older.
And every day, as everything moves so fast and we lose ourselves in one quest or another, we might miss the chance to just show up, be there, and see that we already have what's really important.
This was one of those moments, and I didn't want to forget it. This absolute clarity.
I pulled out a notebook and spilled my heart all over the pages. Then I sent it into hiding. I usually go back and read through journal entries, but I couldn't bring myself to look at this one. It somehow felt too raw. Too real.
Remember this. The tears that come from nowhere deep inside. The flood of vivid memories. All the phases and seasons. The parts I maybe took for granted thinking they would last forever and the parts I feared would. The things I thought were important and the things that actually turned out to be. The clarity. The things I know now that I wish I knew then but could only ever learn by going through it without knowing.
The GRATITUDE. The beauty I see where I usually see mess and imperfection. This love so big it doesn't even fit inside my body. I don't feel this because I didn't love enough. I feel this because I love so much. This feeling is falling in love. It's my heart expanding further than I thought it ever could. And it's so much love it's hard to imagine loving more, but then I always do.
The tears did eventually stop. I brushed myself off, and I went about the rest of my day.
Maybe we can't have that clarity all the time. Maybe we shouldn't. It's an awful lot to take in.
The bumps are part of the beautiful bigger picture, and sometimes the really good stuff is hiding in them. Looking back, the times that I once wished would pass by quickly actually turned out to be the hardest to let go.
And...to be totally honest, sometimes the bumps are just bumpy.
It isn't all amazing all the time. I mean, daily life, right? It's where we're living, and I don't know about you, but where we're living can get messy.
Daily life is where the noise happens. It's sticky fingerprints on the windows, ants in the sink, tantrums in the parking lot, and sibling rivalry.
I guess that's the bittersweet thing about life. You can't wait until this tough part is over, but then it's gone and you wish you could have it back.
As I sat there, all I could think about were the years that had passed. They already happened. And it seemed like I missed it all. I felt guilty for a moment, but I realized that this feeling doesn't make me bad. It makes me a living, breathing, real, actual human.
Being present, loving, and appreciating where you are isn't about never having a worry or having a bad day. It's definitely not about never feeling like you wish you could go back for a little bit.
It's about stepping out of the daily details every now and then. Showing up, slowing down, and opening yourself up to mayhem just as much as you do to the magic.
The bumps in the road are part of your path. When you're frustrated with where you are and just wish you could move on already, trust that you'll look back one day and realize that you'd been heading in the right direction all along.
When that's hard, love yourself anyway because all of us are still growing up. And try not to beat yourself up about it too much, either. You can try this whole being present and growing up thing again tomorrow.

Due to its outstanding properties, it is a versatile metal that can be used in both medicine and industry. Platinum has the highest organ and body tolerance of all precious metals and is therefore used for medical probes as well as cardiac pacemakers.
In the industrial sector, platinum is used in the production of catalysts and fuel cells. Furthermore, it is a popular jewelry metal.
In 2000 demand was still at 180 tonnes. In 2013 it has risen to more than 250 tonnes.
The increase is due to the versatility of this metal as well as the growing demand from the investment sector.
The Asian jewelry industry also increasingly relies on platinum.


Not one to sit on his fine-pressed laurels, Patrik Ervell is braving the e-commerce fray with a new online shop. Not bad for an independent label that started modestly enough, churning out suspiciously chic outerwear basics. Who else but Ervell could reinvent the fleece zip-up as a fleece zip-up? But in only a few short years, the Northern California native has done just that, perfecting his incisive brand of sportswear down to a science, giving anoraks, windbreakers and khakis the deluxe treatment. On the new site, true to Ervell's ethos, there are no extraneous bells and whistles, just animated models who tug at their wares, scratch their heads and basically mope around like a penny arcade peep show. And it's all here, the full Ervell collection. Part California surf bum, part East Village beatnik, it's100% Ervell—and that's how we like it.

Q: Child class attributes point to the same object reference from parent Basing on the code below, I had expected student.hobbies to be separate from player.hobies, but it seems they both point to the same reference object and performing an operation on one affects the other.
class Person:
    hobbies = []

class Student(Person):
    pass

class Player(Person):
    pass

student = Student()
player = Player()

student.hobbies.append("Reading")
player.hobbies.append("Playing")

print(student.hobbies) # prints >> ['Reading', 'Playing']
print(player.hobbies) # prints >> ['Reading', 'Playing']

Though they share the same base class, student and player are two separate instances of two separate classes. So I expected student.hobbies to return ['Reading'] and player.hobbies to return ['Playing'] after performing the append operation on each but that's clearly not the case. What am I not getting right?

A: This is because in your example hobbies is a class variable, not an instance variable. Use __init__ to declare it
class Person:
    def __init__(self):
        self.hobbies = []

print(student.hobbies)  # ['Reading']
print(player.hobbies)  # ['Playing']

Aviation institute for Couva
By MIRANDA LAROSE Saturday, March 2 2013
The Ministry of Tertiary Education and Skills Training is set to launch by May, the country's first local aviation institute in Camden, Couva, according to Minister of Tertiary Education and Skills Training Fazal Karim.
Addressing invitees yesterday at the launch of the Masters of Arts in Leadership in Technical and Vocational Education and Training, and Workforce Development at the UWI St Augustine campus, Karim said the aviation institute was being developed in conjunction with six entities — Caribbean Airlines Limited, National Helicopter Services Limited, Civil Aviation Authority, Metal Industries Company Ltd, National Training Agency, and the University of Trinidad and Tobago. The institute, he said, will initially focus on an aircraft maintenance technician programme, avionics, and aircraft overhaul engineering.

So, it's done and dusted. There's going to be a new cruise liner terminal at Enderby's Wharf, on the west side of Greenwich Peninsula. What do you mean, you didn't know? Didn't you watch BBC London News last night?
Nope, not the Mercury; not the News Shopper; certainly not greenwich.co.uk, so disliked by the Great Leader. After all, why would anyone want to tell local news outlets when you can go straight on the telly and announce another Great Project, out of the blue? And you can be sure it'll be in Greenwich Time next week.
It's typical council media planning – deal with regional media who won't ask any awkward questions, give the rest as an exclusive to your own propaganda rag, and bypass the people who whose job it is to ask difficult questions – the local press. Thankfully The Greenwich Phantom spotted Chris Roberts' appearance on a news programme which generally ignores south-east London.
Plans to build a cruise terminal in Greenwich have been around for years – in the 1990s there was a proposal to build one by Deptford Creek, while Convoys Wharf has also been mooted as a site. The Port of London Authority already owns a floating terminal which can be moved up and down the Thames; cruise liners on the river aren't as rare a sight as BBC London News made out.
But plans for a terminal on at Enderby's Wharf – where the STC/Alcatel cable works are – haven't really made it above the surface, being reported in passing in this News Shopper story from last year about regeneration work. When I stood for election I heard a little bit by word of mouth about the proposals, but very little tangible evidence of these plans ever existed. Peninsula councillor Mary Mills says there has been some discussions involving local groups, but there's very little in the public domain.
What little we do know is that Manchester-based West Properties is pushing a scheme to include "a four star hotel, retail and leisure, residential units and public space", with marine engineers Beckett Rankine commissioned to design the cruise terminal and a river boat pier. Indeed, BR's website claims there'll be two hotels there.
Of course, a cruise liner terminal may actually be a good thing, providing jobs and investment at a time when both things are needed. But wouldn't it be a great idea if Chris Roberts actually got off his backside and talked to local people about what they thought of the scheme before announcing it on TV? But sadly, that's not the Greenwich Council way – as ever, local people are left feeling like they're some kind of incovenience in the way of the great march of progress.
So how the hell is the local area going to cope with the traffic a huge residential, commercial and hotel development is going to create? The whole area is surrounded by side streets, and is already going to struggle when the Lovell's Wharf residents move in any day now. The cruise liner terminal won't actually be the thing that has an impact on Greenwich.
What about the riverside path? Greenwich Council has already acquiesed in the long closure of a long stretch of our riverside path, and watched helplessly as the Lovell's Wharf developers rerouted it into their sales office – and then grovelled to those developers in its propaganda rag. Will access to our river be protected?
And sadly – yes, it's the 2012 deadline once again. Perhaps if we didn't make such a fetish of getting things ready for the Olympics, the standard of Greenwich's new developments might be just a bit a better?
So many questions, but too few answers. All these concerns about a Great Project, dismissed with a wave of the Great Leader's arm. Was there ever any intention to ask the people of Greenwich what they'd like to see happen on their riverside?
West Properties is due to submit a planning application soon. Hopefully other councillors won't take the same attitude as their council's leader.
I love this blog. Whenever I need to read some over hyped sensationalist diatribe I come here.
Daryl – yet again your story is full of holes.
You suggest this story was leaked out last night on BBC – but go on to admit it has been an idea that has been around from the 90s.
Why you even state it has been in the Shopper last year – all be it a small bit – I'm sure that's a council conspiracy as well, not the fact the Shopper decided not to make a larger story out of it.
If you also researched your story you would find that it has been covered by the Mercury and the Kentish Times before. Why let facts get in the way of a story.
Worse still you seem to suggest that it was slipped into regional media to keep it quiet. Yes that's BBC London news viewed by how many 100s of 1000s compared to the 40,000 households covered by the Shopper.
And as a former BBC bod – lets be honest – did you ever ask council PR people if they had broken the local news story you were working on to local papers first. Did you turn down stories if they hadn't. Of course you didnt that would be just dumb. Broadcast can cover stories fast than print media for the reasons we both know.
As for local residents having a say – why did you overlook the bit where the council leader clearly states that the plans will be subject to planning permission. Yes just like the Greenwich Market application, the 2012 application and a whole host of others – you can have your say. If you dont like the plans – make your view known. You know that – you were at both the previously mentioned meetings.
Finally – if you heard about this when you were a candidate in the council elections, why did YOU not tell local people about it. Why didnt you campaign on it.
The green campaign faltered badly as your party failed to concentrate on core local issues – prefering instead to campaign on personal pet peeves. What about housing? Education? Transport? These issues were barely mentioned in your campaign as you focussed on the issue you wrongly felt most people cared about – Greenwich Time. D'oh.
That's why the Greens went from 2nd to fourth in the ward you stood in. Your party lacked a vision and local people lacked faith in your party.
Surely if 'whispers' had been heard by any of 'Our Councillors' it would have moved them to at least 'float' the idea around the locals? Oh, but wait, when was the last time you saw your local councillor to be able to 'Chat' about local issues and upcoming events/projects?
Do we really need to track them down and ask them to tell us about these sorts of things or should they actively be looking to speak to us?
Maybe we should look at Greenwich Time as being our Councils 'Consultation' after all we pay for the waste of paper.
"Worse still you seem to suggest that it was slipped into regional media to keep it quiet." Did I? I actually said it was given to regional media to avoid scrutiny – a Londonwide outlet is not going to ask the same questions as a local newspaper which knows the area well.
"Broadcast can cover stories fast than print media for the reasons we both know." TV's actually quite a slow medium – the News Shopper can get something up on its website in 10 minutes.
One question – if the plan is big enough for Chris Roberts to go on TV about, don't you think that some wider consultation about this scheme is in order, rather than a simple planning application? For example, the Convoys Wharf developers in Deptford recently held a public exhibition of their plans. Where's the chance for locals to ask questions and find out more?
Daryl – I don't think you read my post.
There will be wider consultation when planning permission is sought.
Plans will be produced by the developers for the public to give their views on. Councillors will listen to those views and make a decision. You know how the system works – so why pretend you don't.
No planning application has been logged yet – a quick check on the council's website shows that.
You failed to explain why you did not tell local residents about the plans for this during your election campaign – seeing as you admitted you heard about them. Why not – if it is such a big deal now?
And I say again – this story has appeared in all 3 local papers.
Google is great like that – so what exactly is your story here? And why did you not bring it up during your campaign?
Les, this isn't a post about me. It's a post about the council. And that News Shopper story is linked to in the story. If the Enderbys Wharf cruise terminal plans are so public, can you use Google to find me a complete set of proposals?
That council link refers to the original Greenwich Reach plans. Not Enderbys Wharf.
By the way, your IP address, 77.95.121.133, suggests you're in Switzerland. Having a nice holiday?
I don't profess to be anything but a cynic when it comes to our Council but is there anyone else who thinks it strange that they seem to be able to find the time and effort to get this proposal done and dusted within 18-24 months? How long has there been a hole in the Heart Of East Greenwich? What is happening too East Greenwich Library? Let alone the appallingly 'derelict' feel to Trafalgar Road with its rows of abandoned shops? Would the money used for this new terminal not be better used for projects that benefit locals? After all, don't we already have cruise ships docking in Greenwich or was that a figment of my imagination I saw last night?
Darryl – how petty. I am enjoying my holiday in Switzerland as it happens.
Technology is wonderful like that as you would know posting from America and various contries on your hols too.
Shame you have to try this petty game when people disagree with you. Just like your Twitter posts that I am a Labour/Greenwich Council plant.
For the record I'm a Tory voter – and Nigel Fletcher who re-tweeted your post should know better. He knew about these plans already too.
I'm not defending the council here – just fed up with misinformation being spread by people, even as you have shown in this case, people who knew about the scheme months ago.
I've shown you this old news.
I've shown you that the council has promoted it's desire to see a cruise liner terminal at Enderby's Wharf.
I've shown you that the local media have been told about this story BEFORE the BBC.
So all your main points in your "story" have been discredited.
Shouldn't that be your story?
No, Les. Now enjoy your holiday/proxy server. Next!
Today is a day of great historical significance for London. Our country isn't an island anymore, we're a leading European state, and I believe that this is the decade when London will become Europe's capital, having cleared away the outdated, we've got mile after mile and acre after acre of land for our future prosperity, no other city in the world has got right in its centre such an opportunity for profitable progress.
So it's important that the right people mastermind the new London, proven people, with nerve, knowledge and expertise.
That's a rather dramatic new look for him there.
Chris Roberts/Harold Shand. Neat. But memory fails; is the quote Roberts or Shand? Could be either.
At the time I read this, October last, I was told no decision had been made as to final location but Enderby's was strong because it could be rolled in with an existing development proposal for commercial, residential and hotel accommodation. This was the West Properties proposal. Their web site still makes no mention of the cruise liner terminal. Odd. It does indicate that the area of their development will be fairly small; most of the site, back from the waterfront will remain with Alcatel.
Concerns would be a) land-side transport links and traffic generation, (b) the architecture and sheer built size of the beast (no knowledge yet of who will design – Beckett Rankine appear to be marine engineers working on the floating bits), (c) the speed of development (d) preservation of important relics.
The preservation of the Enderby house alone will not be enough. The first transatlantic cable was made here and shipped out from the Enderby's Wharf. So first moves towards globalism (like it or not) were made here. Making that evident should appeal to developers?
By the way, developers consulting before they put in a planning application is indeed quite normal for anything of large significance. I think this site and intent justifies a rather more open approach than talks with unnamed local organisations. It would be very helpful if they could identify themselves and say what they talked about.
Add to the above that there appears to be no information about this on the GLA or LDA web-sites. Also odd.
And to the concerns add an (e) what effect will this have on the future development of the Syral site?
The Syral site is both a preferred industrial aite and a Safeguarded Wharf under the London Plan which should ensure a continued industrial river-oriented use. But the use of the wharf could be made more difficult by the presence of large ships at Enderby's.
The really annoying thing here is that the Primrose pier at the north of the Syral site and well clear of the terminal is not a safeguarded wharf and I believe that under the terms of their lease from Morden College Syral are obliged to demolish it. The gantries adjoining the Syral silos have already come down and the silos themselves will follow very shortly. According to the PLAs Notice to Mariners M11 of 2010 the demolition from barges of both the silo pier and Primrose Pier are due to be completed this month.
Up to two weeks ago I had seen no evident action on Primrose Pier but will now have to see whether this exercise in gratuitous vandalism is yet in progress.
I doubt if it can be stopped. It should have been.
I have desperately been trying to keep quiet while all these posts are going on.
Otter – who are you?? I need to talk to you. I have been making a fuss about Primrose Pier for months (and the other jetties, including the old Greenwich tip jetty) and I am still waiting for a report. I am also trying to keep abreast of the Syrol site generally. You clearly actually know the scenario.
You are right about the historic importance of the Enderby site (if a bit wrong on detail) – I just wish some of the mainstream historians would take it more seriously. However as well as being the home of communication and the site of a ropewalk, before, 1770 it was the site of the Goverment gunpowder depot, with a massive jetty in the river and a testing station for all the nation's explosives. (Perhaps I'll write that up for Rob next).
– and – while I'm writing – Dazza – if you live in Peninsula Ward I'm always happy to chat – but I can't seek everyone out because there are too many people and not enough time, so you will have to come to me.
– and – Darryl, sorry again, while I might agree with the concept of 'our' river – I suspect that organisations like Morden College (and the PLA) might also think they have some ownership too.
While I might agree with the concept of 'our' river – I suspect that organisations like Morden College (and the PLA) might also think they have some ownership too.
This is true, but does Chris Roberts represent the people of Greenwich or does he represent landowners?
Indeed, thanks Otter – it's something I'll have to return to soon, I think.

new year new name
Aunt Jemima rebranded as Pearl Milling Company
AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar
The Aunt Jemima brand has a new name: the Pearl Milling Company.
In June, Quaker Oats said it was giving the brand a new name and logo because "Aunt Jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype." The Aunt Jemima image went through several iterations, and the original depiction was of a minstrel character. Products with the new name and logo will hit store shelves this summer.
In a statement released Tuesday, PepsiCo, the parent company of Quaker Oats, said the Pearl Milling Company was founded in 1888 in St. Joseph, Missouri, and "was the originator of the iconic self-rising pancake mix that would later become known as Aunt Jemima." Pearl Milling Company said in its own statement customers and employees helped decide the name, and it was "developed with inclusivity in mind."

"I can make a difference": College Park Mayor Patrick Wojahn reflects on his career
The day after College Park Mayor Patrick Wojahn was re-elected in the most contested mayoral race in city history, he received an unexpected phone call.
It was from a young resident, who told Wojahn he had just come out as gay a few weeks earlier. He watched the election, and he wanted tell the city's first openly gay mayor that he appreciated his public service.
"He felt that by me being out and being who I am, that it made life easier for him," Wojahn said. "That's the sort of thing that makes this all worth it — the long hours and standing in the rain on [Election Day] for 13 hours and the sleepless nights … that I can make a difference in someone's life."
[Read more: College Park Mayor Patrick Wojahn wins re-election]
That desire to make a difference has manifested in different ways, from legal work to volunteering, throughout the two-term mayor's life. But it was a trip to study in Russia, when Wojahn was a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, that opened his eyes to the possibility of a future in the political sphere.
In the mid-'90s, while volunteering for an HIV/AIDS education and advocacy center called Aesop in Moscow, he saw several organizers abroad facing repression, as well as violence and attacks from police. But Wojahn called it "a time of real optimism" thanks to advocacy efforts and the passage of a nondiscrimination law in the face of adversity.
"In some ways, at the time, it was more advanced than LGBT rights in the United States was," Wojahn said. "Unfortunately, things have taken a turn for the worse since then in Russia — but at the time, it really inspired me."
Laura Kaegebein, Wojahn's older sister, said she noticed a clear change in her brother when he got back from Russia and Germany.
"His experiences abroad really kind of matured him, but also got him thinking about the world and how he could make a difference," Kaegebein said.
When Wojahn returned, he ran for student government in April 1997 and was elected vice-chair. In 1998, after graduating with bachelor's degrees in international relations, German and Russian, he deferred his acceptance to Georgetown Law for a year to work for WisPIRG, a lobbying group, as a campus organizer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
"That was kind of like an organizing boot camp," Wojahn said. "They really put a lot of resources into training their employees. So, from my year working with them, I really learned a lot about how to run a campaign."
'Untapped potential'
While in law school, Wojahn met his future husband, Dave Kolesar, who was pursuing his master's degree in electrical engineering at Catholic University. The pair knew they wanted to move in together after Wojahn finished school in 2002, and Kolesar, a Cheverly native, knew where to look.
College Park "fit the bill," as it was relatively affordable and close to public transportation, Wojahn said.
It was hard for Wojahn to find jobs doing policy work after he earned his law degree, he said. His first position after graduating was a year-long stint as a law clerk at the D.C. Superior Court for Judge John Campbell. He worked in legal services for about eight years after, he said, before becoming a public policy analyst for the National Disability Rights Network. In May 2014, he started as the director of government relations for Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, where he still works full-time. The D.C.-based nonprofit aims to create a national trails network from unused rail lines, and Wojahn advocates for trails and safe bicycle and pedestrian networks.
Wojahn said he never necessarily expected he'd run for public office. But when the District 1 council members didn't run for re-election in 2007 — about the same time he and Kolesar were among the 19 plaintiffs who lost Maryland's same-sex marriage lawsuit — he decided to give it a shot.
"College Park is a great place to live, and it's a place with a lot of potential — a lot of untapped potential — and I felt that I could do a lot for the community by running," Wojahn said.
Kolesar said he rolled his eyes when Wojahn said he wanted to run for District 1 councilman.
"So like, 'Oh boy, here we go,'" Kolesar said. "But you know, God bless him. He genuinely wants to make a difference. Maybe it's because he's from the Midwest. … Having grown up in the D.C. area, you kind of become a little more cynical and jaded toward politics, but Patrick is much more optimistic about politics than I am."
With the highest amount of votes of any District 1 candidate in 2007, Wojahn was elected to his first term. He would be re-elected to his council seat in 2009, 2011 and 2013.
On the council, Wojahn spearheaded a proposed change to the city's charter that said the city would not discriminate in jobs, housing or public accommodation because of religion, gender or sexual orientation, among other factors.
Wojahn also helped form the Neighborhood Stabilization and Quality of Life Workgroup, which devised more than 70 strategies to "address the long-standing tensions in our city between students and long-term residents," he said in 2015.
Wojahn called that year an "exciting time for the city," prompting him to run for the vacant mayoral seat. He won the most competitive election in decades, defeating District 4 Councilwoman and Mayor Pro-Tem Denise Mitchell. In the 2017 mayoral election on Nov. 7, Wojahn was re-elected to his position, winning the four-way race in a landslide.
'Always on the go'
Wojahn splits his days between his job at Rails-to-Trails and his mayoral work, to which he devotes at least 30 hours per week.
"There's often times where he's gone by seven in the morning, and he comes home at 10 at night with various meetings," Kolesar said, adding with a laugh that even though he doesn't see his husband very much, "I'm a bit of a loner, so that's OK."
The city council's student liaison, Chris Keosian, worked closely with the mayor over the summer as a transportation policy intern for Rails-to-Trails. He said he was impressed by how Wojahn balances his responsibilities.
"One minute he can be testifying at Capitol Hill, the next minute he can be having a high-level policy discussion with a member of Congress, the next minute he can be testifying on behalf of the National League of Cities," Keosian said, "and then on the way back to the office, he can be on the phone with a constituent, wearing his mayoral hat."
Wojahn said he tries "to take some time for [him]self every once in a while," by spending time doing things such as biking, which he's done ever since he was little, and running.
He also enjoys getting out in the community by going to farmers markets, running a weekly timed 5K in College Park and going to The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center and MilkBoy ArtHouse for music performances, he said.
"He's always going to support some group or some person," said Janie Gaylor, Wojahn's neighbor and a District 1 resident. "He's always on the go, doing something for someone."
Late in Wojahn's first term as mayor, the council introduced a charter amendment that would extend city voting rights to non-U.S. citizens, generating controversial buzz that put College Park in national headlines. The amendment appeared to pass on Sept. 12.
But days later, city officials announced that the proposal hadn't received enough votes due to a measure requiring six votes for changes to the city charter. The six-vote requirement was in violation of state law, officials determined after legal review. Still, the noncitizens voting measure didn't pass.
"I've never thought of us as anything but the highest degree of professional," Keosian said the weekend after city officials announced the measure did not pass. "To miss something this big is pretty embarrassing."
District 2 Councilman P.J. Brennan, who has served on the council since 2013, said he thinks Wojahn has executed his role as mayor "professionally" and "with a lot of integrity."
"One thing that people don't really realize with Patrick is that he does not stop — he has more energy than the whole council combined," Brennan said. "He is constantly going to meetings, learning new information, talking to new people, from the time he gets up in the morning to the time he goes to bed at night."
Zari Malsawma, a District 4 resident who competed against Wojahn for mayor, said "in terms of being rewarded for his campaign efforts, [she] thinks he deserve[s] it," but said they have different visions for the city-university partnership, among other issues.
"In terms of what he wanted to accomplish, I think he was successful [as mayor for the last two years]," Malsawma said. "But I don't agree with his focus."
One of Wojahn's focuses is the growing partnership between the city and University of Maryland. Wojahn said in a Oct. 30 mayoral debate that he views the city-university partnership as "a symbiosis," as the two mutually benefit from the relationship and "rise and fall together."
In his past two years as mayor, the city has partnered with this university on initiatives such as the planned transition of a dilapidated former school site on Calvert Road into a child care facility and a joint bike-share program in collaboration with bike-sharing company Zagster.
Jonathan Artis, Wojahn's next-door neighbor who moved into the area in November 2015, said he likes Wojahn's positive outlook for the city and his perspective on the city-university partnership.
[Read more: College Park community reflects on Mayor Patrick Wojahn's first year]
"Me as a new resident, I think working with the university is better than trying to go against them, I mean, that doesn't help anybody," Artis said. "Mayor Wojahn's message — 'let's continue to work with the university, we're not always going to agree on everything, but they're a partner, and if they fail, we fail' … I agree with that message."
Wojahn, whose campaign centered on issues such as transportation, sustainability and development in downtown College Park, said that while no one knows what could happen in the next two years, he imagines it's "very likely" he'll run again in 2019.
He said he'd like to take on new challenges in the future, adding that he could see himself on the Prince George's County Council or serving in the Maryland House of Delegates.
"They're very different roles that take on very different things, so I think either one of those could be a challenge that would offer some new opportunities for me in different ways," Wojahn said, "but I'm playing it by ear."
Kolesar said he'd probably give his husband another eye-roll if he runs for mayor again or pursues a higher office.
"He'd probably do very well," Kolesar said. "I know I am a bit biased in saying this, but the political world probably needs more people like him."


CVG is seeing more passengers and lower prices.
HEBRON, Ky. — Patrick Woods has a flight to catch at CVG.
Woods doesn't live close by. He lives about 70 miles away in Indiana.
But the low cost of flying out of CVG has brought him here rather to another of the Tri-State's regional airports.
"Looked through the airports between Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Louisville because they're all the same distance away from home," Woods said. "Cincinnati is the cheapest and very easy to get in and out of."
Woods is one of the growing number of people choosing to fly through Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
CVG says it's one of the fastest growing airports in the country.
Numbers show 2018 was a soaring year with 8.9 million passengers, and the projections keep pointing skyward. CVG has a new passenger goal of 9.4 million in 2021.
The low fares are a big attraction, but the mix of carriers is also a big plus, said Mindy Kershner, airport spokesperson.
"It's very strategic. It's a diverse mix of air carriers," Kershner said. "So now we have this wonderful mix of legacy carriers - American, Delta, United. And, we have low-cost carriers or ultra low-cost carriers - Allegiant, Frontier, and we have Southwest now."
All of this travel is translating into billions of dollars for the region. The projected annual economic impact by 2021 is $5 billion, and many believe it could surpass that.

I pulled the title for this post directly from understanding the impact of cross-border routing of data during an era of emerging geographic restrictions, from Dyn. I'm writing about this to add it to my list of numerous concerns for API providers, when it comes to internationalizing their APIs, for the global API economy--such as establishing successful patterns for multi-lingual APIs and documentation, or providing API access that is replicated into multiple regions around the globe.
Dyn's perspective comes from a more regulatory level, which I think coming from a DNS provider is something that makes the story even more compelling. At any rate, I feel with the big data / surveillance culture that is thriving right now, regulatory concerns, when it comes to data and privacy will continue to be a natural response, and will increase, and continue to be more heavy handed.
I am not a fan of regulation, I understand its purpose, but historically I have not been an advocate for. However there has to be a counterbalance to the bad big data behavior from tech companies, surveillance by tech companies and the government, and the increasing cyberbullshittery that is going on. I'd prefer this counter-balance be a human and people driven response, but I'm guessing it will end up being a wave of very emotional government regulatory responses, like we seen with Safe Harbor, and beyond.
Its my opinion that extensive logging, software defined networking, and APIs coupled with OAuth controls is how we are going to orchestrate our operations in this new, extremely volatile, land-mine ridden regulatory environment that is unfolding. This is why I keep an eye on global DNS infrastructure providers like Dyn, as part of my DNS research, so that I can map out all of their API operations, and include alongside logging, SDN, and other relevant APIs--the automation of cross-border data flows using APIs, so that you can mitigate regulatory uncertainty.
I see the concept of "data flow" playing a significant role in helping use define our digital self, both individual and organizationally. Similar to bringing into focus what online services I depend on, and having a better handle on where my valuable digital assetts are stored, I want to know where my data flows, and have some control over it as a business or as individual. I suspect this is something that more businesses, and god help us, hopefully more individuals begin asking for, and head off some of the regulatory headwinds that are in store for all of us.


You've decided your horse needs a blanket. It's time to go shopping!
First determine size, weight and material of the blanket. To figure out what size your horse needs, you'll have to do some measuring. Begin by putting a halter and lead rope on your horse for control. Use a tape measure or length of string. If using a tape measure be careful, some horses will react when it's pulled out and stretched along the body. Desensitizing may be needed. Once you have your horse acclimated to the tape or string, measure from the center of the chest, across the point of the shoulder, along the barrel, and to the edge of the tail, in somewhat of a straight shot.
American blanket sizes run in two-inch increments (68", 70", 72", etc.). European sizes run in three-inch increments (69", 72", 75", etc.). If your horse falls between the sizes, round up to the larger size. Many manufacturers will provide a chart that will help you determine what size to order or ask that you add another inch or two to your measurement. Refer to the manufacturer's ordering instructions.
Before ordering you'll have to determine the weight and material you want. A term you will see often is denier. Denier is used to measure the weight of fabric based on the fineness of the threads. This isn't insulation weight, but toughness of the material. The smaller the number, the less tough the material from which the blanket is made. For example: nylon with the rating of 210-denier will have less strength than nylon rated 1200-denier. A sample of ratings: 210 – very light; 420 – light; 600 – medium; 1200 – heavy; 1680 -extra heavy.
The higher the denier rating the more the blanket will weigh. If your horse doesn't need an indestructible blanket don't spend the extra money. For warmth get an insulated blanket – don't increase the denier rating. The degree of insulation a blanket offers is rated in grams per square meter. The higher the number, the more protection the blanket offers. For example a blanket rated at 200 grams (about seven ounces) would be considered medium. 400 grams would double the insulating factor.
Blankets and sheets will be offered in several types of material. Nylon, polypropylene, polyester and cotton are common choices for the shell or liner. Nylon is very durable and is resistant to mold, bacteria and rot. It is easy to clean. Nylon can be used as the outer shell for insulated blankets, as lining or by itself in a sheet application. Nylon is also better for the hair coat as it slides instead of catching on the hair. Nylon is the most expensive blanket material. Polypropylene is less durable than nylon, but more durable than polyester and cotton. It also breathes better than cotton. Polyester is light in weight and not as strong as nylon or polypropylene. The denier rating must be higher to reach the same durability as nylon or poly at a lower rating. It is an economically priced material. Cotton is rarely used by itself as it does not dry as quickly as the synthetic materials and is harder to clean. Some manufacturers use synthetic materials blended with cotton.
Insulation is usually made with a synthetic material, such as poly fill. Synthetic insulation retains its insulating properties even when wet. Many horses have blankets and sheets for every change of weather. In the last 48 hours Babe managed to wear most of hers!
During the night it was below 32 degrees, so she wore her 300 gram insulated blanket. After I rode, I put on the medium weight cooler. When she was cooled out, I switched to her waterproof turnout sheet so she could go in the paddock; it was warm and raining. Tonight it's not to be as cold so she'll wear her 200 gram poly filled medium blanket. Babe is under lights and does not have a winter coat, so temperature variations keep me busy!


The Southeast Regional Development Fund or SRDF, is a revolving loan fund managed by seCTer. Originally capitalized at $5 million, the SRDF has generated nearly $15 million in loan funding for small businesses in southeastern Connecticut. As the original $5 million was paid back, principal was recapitalized and converted into new loans. A large part of that fund is attributable to the Garde Arts Center, southeastern Connecticut's nonprofit home for the performing arts, cinema and education.
The Garde Arts Center, Inc. was founded as a nonprofit corporation in 1985 by leaders in banking, business, education and the arts to purchase, and thereby save from demolition, the 1400-seat historic (1926) Garde Theater movie palace. With a State-approved Master Plan for the restoration and expansion of the theater into an "arts block," the Garde began in 1994 with an $11 million capital fundraising campaign that would provide a new future for the theater and a catalyst for the economic rejuvenation of the city and the region. Towards that effort, the Garde was awarded $4.5 million in state of Connecticut bond funds, plus a $2 million construction loan which became a new and permanent part of seCTer lending funds servicing the entire region. Twenty years after completing the first phase of renovations, the Garde is proud to have recently paid off that $2 million loan. The Garde has been deeply satisfied to see their payments handled respectfully and intentionally especially as the original loan has become a permanent source of economic fuel for other entities throughout the region. The Garde has helped found and provide ongoing support to numerous important regional assets, including the Regional Multicultural Magnet School, Interdistrict School for the Arts and Communication, New London Main Street, City Center and the Cultural Coalition of Southeastern Connecticut. SeCTer is honored to have played a part in the critically important and transformative work the Garde has done for the region.
It is not cheap to maintain this community gem. In addition to their annual program and capital fundraising the Garde has recently established, with the Community Foundation of Eastern CT, the Garde Arts Center Endowment Fund, to continue the legacy that has so greatly enriched New London and our region… truly a gift that keeps on giving.


The Real Stevia Company was founded 2003 in Sweden by the entrepreneur Carl Horn af Rantzien. But the story started even earlier, in Paraguay in the 1840´s, when John Wilhelm Smitt, the great grandfather of Carl Horn, was the first person to export yerba maté and yerba dulce (stevia) from Paraguay to Argentina.
The will to do good is one of the strongest characteristics of Carl Horn af Rantzien. As sugar was becoming a major global threat to our health, Carl observed a need for a nutritional change in the society and that stevia could be an important part of a solution. With the historical connections to Paraguay, the idea of growing stevia in the original country wasn't far away. And as it was important to give something back to the land of stevia, a foundation to support the farmers with education on how to cultivate stevia in the most sustainable way was set up.
At the same time the world has been challenged with an international obesity and diabetes crises and stevia has become an important tool to improve consumer's nutritional behavior, and to reduce sugar and artificial sweeteners in our food and drinks. With partners in Paraguay and China, we deliver sustainable produced and fully traceable stevia leaves, extract and blends to the food and beverage industry.
One of our key missions today is to help develop the stevia industry in a sound manner. As one of the founding partners of the organisation International Stevia Council (ISC), we were instrumental in getting the European stevia approval in place 2011.


The Air Conditioned Nightmare is the second full-length release from Doldrums, the musical brainchild of Arbutus Records alumnus Airick Woodhead. While not a solo project per se — Woodhead performed with a backing band while touring in support of his 2013 debut, Lesser Evil, and has said this collaborative, nomadic milieu heavily influenced his songwriting — Doldrums is nonetheless, predominantly the spawn of Woodhead's twisted, visionary intellect.
Nightmare is a mad scientist's assemblage of alien synths and strangely danceable beats, soldered together with DIY samples that sound like field recordings from another dimension. Woodhead's elfin vocals glide over and through these soundscapes like a cybernetic hawk navigating the ruins of a dystopic metropolis. This album is not a drastic divergence from its predecessor, it is a sleeker, upgraded version; the parts fit together better, it's more polished, and it runs more efficiently.
Aside from the bold and complex range of sonic texturing to be heard on this album, what also makes Nightmare special is that the lyrics have an authentic literary quality, not often prominent in electronic music. The album is named after a collection of essays by Henry Miller about his experiences driving through America after a decade in Europe. These essays are a scathing critique of a culture based on greed and cruelty, mass production, and exploitation. True to this spirit, Doldrums' tracks like "Video Hostage" don't hesitate to draw their imagery from the grotesque, alienating aspects of modern existence: "Laying by the exit in plain view / No one slows down to notice you / Is he sleeping or is he dead? / Is it a cry for attention? / Video hostage, one billion views / No one stays long enough to know it's you." Woodhead's shamanic crooning delivers this subject matter like a dadaist prank; gilded with such rich sounds and alluring beats that it's already embedded deep in your subconscious by the time you realise what he's singing about.
Other tracks like "HOTFOOT," "Loops," and "My Friend Simjen," give high-energy, manic, distortions of EDM revelry, which impishly mess with your expectations and take you places you hadn't realised you wanted to be. The Air Conditioned Nightmare manages to be dark, trippy, seductive, and ecstatic in a variety of ways. The gestalt of these elements becomes both an expression of social revolt and also some gesture towards a better way of life; one founded more on creative community and respect for life, than personal gain at the expense of others. But none of that would matter if it didn't sound so good, and this album is definitely worthy of much replay.

Daesh used its Amaq brand to claim attacks in Libya, Russia and Somalia. It released an infographic claiming it has mounted 175 operations in Afghanistan over the last 12 months, killing almost 1,300 people. In an Al-Naba article, it claimed two separate attacks on Libyan soldiers and oil facility guards. Using a lead editorial and an infographic in the weekly al-Naba news-sheet, the group kept up its campaign against democratic elections, with a particular focus on Iraq.
Unofficial channels released various threatening posters with images of potential targets: Barcelona's Sagrada Familia; the Spanish Prime Minister; a Vancouver street; the World Cup in Russia; the Berlin U-Bahn railway; and the Egyptian president. A French language magazine, MediAction, consisted of a single article attacking Turkey's President Erdogan.
Amaq mainly uses Telegram to publish its attack claims, but on 1 and 2 May, it tried to establish new websites with innocent sounding URLs, such as https://libertie.eu and https://newseurope.ru. BBC Monitoring reported that both were offline by the following day.
An article in al-Naba, released on 4 May, restates Daesh's opposition to democracy. It focuses particularly on the coming election in Iraq, but also describes recent attacks on election targets in Afghanistan and Libya. The article justifies attacks on civilians, stating that ignorance of Daesh's views on the elections is not an excuse. It makes further threats on voting places and courts and on anyone voting or involved in running the elections.
A series of posters targeting Egyptians were released by an unofficial channel from 6 May onwards under the heading "Campaign of Monitoring Apostates". Each featured the picture of an individual, starting with President Sisi and going on to a series of alleged soldiers and intelligence agents, all of whom were named. The posters called on supporters to find them, post more information about them on social media and kill them if possible.

Some professors take their time making a point, but 85 years? Find out more about the world's longest-running physics lesson.
In 1927, Professor Thomas Parnell of the University of Queensland in Australia set out to teach his students a lesson, and that lesson is still going on today and has at least another 100 years to go.
The physics professor wanted to demonstrate to his pupils that solid material could have viscous properties, so he used tar pitch, a derivative of coal once used to waterproof boats, in an experiment to prove his point.
At room temperature, pitch appears to be solid and can even shatter if hit with a hammer, but despite its look and feel, pitch can also flow at room temperature--just really, really slowly.
To conduct the Pitch Drop Experiment, Parnell melted some pitch into a glass funnel with a sealed stem and allowed it to settle for three years. In 1930, the funnel was unsealed, clearing the way for the pitch to flow freely, but it sure did take its sweet time.
Eight years went by before the first drop of pitch hit the beaker below, and it was another nine years before the second drop hit. Parnell passed away in September 1948, but a third drop was recorded in 1954, before the Pitch Drop Experiment was stored away in a cupboard.
The experiment may never have seen the light of day again had it not been for John Mainstone.
Mainstone, who joined the University of Queensland physics department in 1961, took over the project after a colleague discovered the "weird" object in the cupboard. With some coaxing, Mainstone also got the university in 1975 to publicly display the experiment in a cabinet in the foyer of the department building.
Now, the Pitch Drop Experiment has its own live Webcam. The eighth and most recent drop was recorded on November 28, 2000, but wouldn't you know it? The camera malfunctioned when it fell. To date, no one has actually witnessed a drop fall.
The experiment isn't kept under special environmental conditions, so the rate of flow fluctuates with seasonal temperatures. However, Mainstone expects that the ninth drop will occur sometime in 2013 and adds that it could be at least another 100 years before all the pitch flows out of the funnel.
It's pretty safe to say Parnell got his point across, albeit slowly, and his perseverance didn't go unrecognized. In 2005, Parnell and Mainstone were awarded the Ig Nobel Prize, an America parody of the Nobel Prize, for physics. The Pitch Drop Experiment also holds the world record for being the longest running lab experiment in the Guinness Book of Records.


Ukraine will make only its second UEFA European Championship appearance and after a very difficult qualifying in which they finished 3rd in group C, behind Spain and Slovakia, with Mykhailo Fomenko's side only booking their tickets to France in a play-off matchup against Slovenia.
The focus on a defensive stance was evident during qualifying, with just four goals conceded in all games, plus 6 games with clean sheets. Not even the 37 years of Shevchuk seem to disrupt the stability of this backline.
The midfield trio of Rotan, Stepanenko and Garmash primarily serves for ball recovery and defensive duties, but all Ukrainian hopes rely on their wingers this summer.
Yarmolenko has allied offensive production for his country (6G and 3AST in qualifying) with a very positive season for the of his heart, Dinamo Kiev, scoring 13 goals in only 23 matches. In the other wing, the only player of the 23 Ukrainian players to play in a major European league, the very fast Konoplyanka , scorer of 8 goals for Sevilla in 2015-16.
Up front, Kravets looked set in stone for the lonely striker role but the Stuttgart strker didn't make the final 23. Dnipro's Roman Zozulya, despite the weak qualifying in which he didn't score any goal in 5 matches, seems now like the frontrunner for the starting job.
It will also be interesting to see whether Stepanenko and Yarmolenko can get past their fight on May 2nd, in a game between Shakhtar and Dynamo Kiev, were they were both expelled. At the time, the Shakhtar player publicly declared that their friendship was over and nothing to get it back.

His nickname is the result of not only the lack of an artistic vein for words but especially from its extreme expertise on what really matters, looking at numbers.
